First Day Back for Track 4

Are you on track 4?  How was your first day back?

Today is another day with new changes going on in several Wake County schools.  Track 4 starts while track 3 tracks out.  Will this go smoothly or will there be some confusion and conflict?  Today started like any other school day for us.  We were up early and off the to the bus stop around 7:30.  One thing was missing.  Our neighbors are all on different tracks than we are so one was missing out there today.  I miss the morning conversations with my neighbor which are sometimes the only adult interaction I get in a day.  I had made arrangements to pick up and bring home our track 1 neighbor so that his mother wouldn’t have to go during the time that her usual ride is tracked out.  These arrangements are out of courtesy for each other. 

And that is what we have here.  Mutual respect and kindness for our neighbors.  Whether they are on track 1, 2, 3 or 4 we have come together to make it easier on our children and our selves.  We all come from different parts of the country but we seem to be able to come together here for our children.  Seems very nice.

Any way this is a short entry.  If you were going back to school today for the first time let me and everyone here know how your day went.  Was it confusing or exciting?  How did your children handle it?  And for those of you on track 3 how was your first track out?  What did you do today?  Was it nice to sleep in again?  Let us know!
